‘That first game back from Hawaii is always tough because you’re never 100 percent recovered,’ Scott Drew told the media after the game. ‘You could tell at halftime that some of our players, like Rico were winded. But, I thought we still played well and executed well.’

This marks the third time since 2009 that the Bears have hung triple digits on Hardin-Simmons. The previous two times happened the Bears won 106-45 and 107-38.

The Bears shot at a high percentage across the board. The team made a season-high 63 percent of its shots that included 10 three-pointers. Cory Jefferson had his fourth double-double of the season scoring 16 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. He’s scored in double digits in seven of eight games this season.

Hardin-Simmons head coach had high praise for Baylor after the game.

‘I think that Scott has assembled a team now that is one echelon away from being one of our premier teams in the country,’ he said. ‘He is already consistent with their tournament play and in the Big 12, and I think in Maui, you saw with Syracuse that they’re right there.’
